Combining elements of drama and horror, Ring 0 is a very worthy installation of the indie horror franchise. This film really starts, though, as a drama, telling us the story of Sadako in a very linear fashion (which, deliciously, has become the more difficult and confusing path to take, since we already know the end of the story). We see Sadako as a human (!) who is not scary or evil at all but actually seems rather pleasant and almost painfully shy. A while later in the film, we see that Sadako is actually warring desperately with herself . . . and is losing. Her eventual slide into the monstrosity of the first and second Ring films is a sight to behold (and, hardcore fans will note, is echoed by a similar fall of Ando Mitsuo in the less popular Rasen).

The social overtones of this film are also outstanding and a fine addition to the series. Whereas the first two films are more exercises in combining psychological terror with techno-horror, Ring 0 takes a more Romero-esque approach to the social aspect of Sadako's transformation, meditating on the cruelty of her peers and the burning need for revenge of one journalist that brings the whole tragedy crashing down.

Incidentally, although it takes some time, this film WILL scare the hell out of you at the end. Just wait for it.

Very, very good. See it.

Wonderful? Great? Excellent? I read with disbelief some of the reviews here. Was I watching a different movie? Of the three Ringu movies, this one was definitely the weakest link. The problem was, I couldn't quite decide whether Ringu 0 was a horror movie, or a throwback to 1970s Asian romance movies. Specifically Taiwanese ones, where the female half of a romance usually ended up either blind, stricken with some incurable disease, or dead, and there were usually an evil parent, step-parent, in-law, or rival in the background. Ringu 0 had an incomprehensible plot, and was mostly melodrama at its worst. Where were the scares that defined Ringu and Ringu 2? A repeat of spooky scenes from the first two movies (e.g. mad mother staring into the mirror, bone-cracking walk/crawl, etc.) do not count. There were simply no original scary scenes here. Plus, what was that nonsense about Sadako splitting into two? Aieee!! What works well in Japanese horror manga (for example, the excellent "Tomei" series about a teenage girl who cannot die despite being murdered repeatedly because her body parts simply regenerate into separate identical persons) simply do not work well on screen. I wished the producers had stopped at Ringu 2. Sigh...

This is a prequel which actually works and explains things rather than giving even more questions. You can argue weather the mystery of Sadako is better left untouched, but the fact still remains; this is a good movie.

The lead (Yukie Nakama as a shy Sadako) is very good, even though it's obvious she's a Japanese version of Carrie White; misunderstood, creepy and with gifts she never wanted. That's the only real problem with this movie; the original ring movie was just that; original. This movie however, get's inspiration from other sources, such as Carrie, and that removes some of it's power.

While it's not as moody as Ring, Ring 0 still has some very good horror scenes and some smart camera-work. Seeing a white shape just at the edge of the screen is much more effective than, for example, the killer's POV.

As with Ring, this is a bit slow but builds up to a good finale. There are no special effects really, and it's very down-to-earth, one of the qualities of this and Ring.

Finally, there's the fact that it's Japanese. There's something refreshing about seeing a movie in a different language, in different environments, in a different culture.

I recommend this movie to those who liked Ring. It's definitely a worthy prequel. 7/10

A great prequel to the Ringu series. In this film we see the human side of Sadako before her death & the cruel attitude of others towards her. By the end of the film you feel sorry for Sadako & not her victims. I enjoyed this more than the original film, in many ways this film follows a more traditional story structure than the original.

No, I don't mean that in a good way.

This movie has... well, nothing! The storyline is boring, confusing and not very convincing, it has zero suspense, no horror, badly written characters and poor acting. And what was the deal with the reporter anyway? The shift in her character, from a concerned reporter to a frantic monster hunter is almost unexplained (A facial expression would have been nice). Oh, and the music is junk too. The one thing it did have was a nice use of the sound which appeared on the tapes when Sadako was around (it had greater potential though). It's easy to see why Hideo Nakata would stay away from this one. You should too. The sole purpose seems to be to milk the cow once again. Let the 0 in the title be a warning to you. That 0 just about says it all. Still I gave it a 2 for effort.

After the original Ringu, there were many people who tried to ride the horror wave. Not much unlike the known Hollywood tradition, the Japanese film industry made many horror movies in the same vein, as is this prequel to the original Ringu.

This is one of the better movies to come out of the many copy-cats that followed the success of Ringu. It does tell you the story of the girl that lead her to become what she is (or was) in the Ringu movie, when you saw her. So if you've watched Ringu, you do know where this movie is going. Still it is more than interesting and engaging to see the journey of her! I don't know how it would feel if you'd watch this movie before Ringu, but one thing is for sure, if you like Ringu, you should watch this one too! It stays true to the original premise!

Shortly after an oddly quiet young woman, Sadako Yamamura (Yukie Nakama), joins a drama troupe, strange events, including deaths with suspicious circumstances, start occurring. Is Sadako somehow connected to these events? And what does it have to do with a reporter investigating a years-old tragedy at a psychic demonstration?

Series Note: There are many different films, television series, books, comic books, etc. based on the "Ring Universe", and it's very complicated trying to sort them out. The Japanese films known as "Ring" or "Ringu" can be numbered 0 (this one), 1 (Ringu, 1998) and 2 (Ringu 2, 1999), and function well as a self-contained story. This film, Ring 0: Birthday is a prequel. I prefer watching it first, but if you want more mystery in the other films, watch them in their release order: Ringu, Ringu 2, then Ringu 0. Note that there is also a Japanese film named Rasen (aka Spiral, 1998) which was meant to be a "Ring 2", but that was later superseded with the 1999 Ringu 2. Rasen is supposedly closer to the second Ring novel, but 1999's Ringu 2 is seen as more or less the "official" Ringu sequel.

There is an infamous mock commercial from the early days of "Saturday Night Live" (1975) about a product named "Shimmer". Shimmer was notable for being both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Ring 0 has Sadako as a Shimmer-like entity. Only, instead of being just two kinds of things, she's six--a telekinetic, a psychic, a precognizant, a ghost, a psychic healer, and a physical manifestation of a split personality. The film overall has a Shimmer-like quality, too. It's both a horror film and a slow, realistic drama with romance overtones. The horror stuff generally works, although Sadako would have benefited from not having so many functions. The more serious dramatic sections, which take up almost an hour of this 90-minute film, are not quite as successful.

The script, by Hiroshi Takahashi, from a story by Ring novelist Koji Suzuki, is admirable on an artistic level. Takahashi is fond of parallelism, setting up the drama troupe's rehearsals and performance as an innocuous veil that often matches more sinister events beneath the surface. He frequently changes our perspective so that we see a stage performer scream, say, at the same time someone offstage should be screaming. These kinds of parallels can be found throughout the film.

The problem is that director Norio Tsuruta just cannot get much momentum going with the material. The dramatic rehearsals and backstage bickering that take up a large percentage of screen-time just aren't that eventful or exciting. There are glimpses, through Sadako or around her, of a more intriguing world, but they're often little more than "flashes" that might cause us to do a double take. Takahashi and Tsuruta work hard to establish a romance subplot involving a love triangle (or two), but this can barely get off the ground. It often feels superfluous.

The best material featuring Sadako in the earlier part of the film resembles something of a cross between a Hitchcockian thriller and Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976). But those are overly generous comparisons, since at least the first hour of Ring 0 has little of the suspense, style or directorial panache of either.

I would have preferred a stronger focus on Shoko Miyaji (Yoshiko Tanaka), the reporter who is trying to investigate the psychic demonstration tragedy. Her scenes, which tend to have the flavor of a police procedural with slight horror twinges, are entertaining, and a larger focus on her would have broken up play rehearsal scenes better. It would have also given the character more weight for the climax, which would have given the ending even greater impact.

As it stands, the last half hour is still the best part. We finally unravel much of the mystery behind Sadako (although there are a lot of questions that could still be answered), and gain insight into some of the events and comments in the first two-thirds of the film, which otherwise can seem cryptic (it pays to rewatch the first hour after the film is over--I enjoyed it more the second time).

There are a number of events during the climax that are breathtaking in their brutality, all nicely scripted and directed. One of these, when two characters are enigmatically killed off-screen, is a rare example of an "attack scene" where I agree that what you're not shown can be more effective than what you are shown. We get to see the event leading right up to the death, and we see the bloody aftermath. Filming how it happened would have drained much of its mystique. Another outstanding development in the climax is rooted in the relationship between two characters, and works so well because of strong cultural taboos.

While it's probably my least favorite Ring-related film, Ring 0 is worth viewing because of its place in the series and the excellent climax.

We see the shy teenage Sadako as a student of a drama club in Tokyo and being outcast by her peers because of the strange air she generates when around them. After the unusual death of the lead actress in the play, the director chooses Sadako to play the part. This gets on a lot of the students' nerves, except for the sound man Toyama. Who both have a sweet spot for each other. Meanwhile, 30 years ago Sadako's mother was involved in an ESP experiment for journalists that turned terribly wrong. Those who were present have all now mysteriously died and reporter Miyaji believes that Sadako was somehow involved and goes about tracking her down for personal gains. Could this interference bring out her disturbing past and help discover the meaning of her horrible nightmares?

A story has always got to have a beginning. Or does it? I guess a prequel was inevitable, but in the long run it outstays its welcome and only convoluted the whole "Ring" legacy by going on to over explain things. An oddly confusing rash of ideas get an extensive workout (but some things are still left in limbo; like the cursed videotape) and Sadako's origins comes across as some sort of wishy-washy soap opera that damages that ominous presence she once held. The passive story seems more like a character item (of a tragic soul and a splash of "Carrie (1976)") and totally different in style, compared to its horror-bound predecessors (Ring & Ring 2). It's all about Sadako now, even though there's no change to the systematic formula of detective work… done by no other than a media reporter. The stage is set. Not bad, but definitely lesser to the previous two. Definitely in the chills and creepy imagery department. The production is just as polished, but maybe even more so and the film's plodding movement makes way for a startlingly atmospheric (if silly) closing. Honestly I didn't care for too much of what was happening, up until the film's final intense 30 minutes and that's when the horror elements kicked in. Something that might have made it a bumpy ride with fewer thrills could've been that the original director of the first two, Hideo Nakata didn't return and it was handed over to Norio Tsuruta. Instead of the hair-raising dark mood of Nakata's ventures. He brought a much more sedated and eerie touch to the screenplay written by Koji Suzuki (the author of "Ring"). Smeared into the dour scenes is a tinglingly spooky music score that knows when to plays its cards effectively to its advantage. Performances are decent enough. The void-like Yukie Nakama is genuinely haunting in her moping appearance as the cursed Sadako.

Was clearing up parts (or adding more onto) the mystery of Sadako a good thing? I don't know, but it's a moderate sequel that only enthusiasts of the "Ring" films should bother with. I think its best to watch this one last.

In Ring O, which takes place 30 years before the events of Ringu, we are introduced to Sadako Yamamura, a painfully shy young girl who is literally torn in two by her mysterious heritage. Sadako, haunted by frightening visions of ghosts and bloody omens of the future, is a tense and silent girl with an ethereal beauty. She has found happiness in a local drama troupe, despite the fact that few of her fellow actors like her - Sadako is too quiet, a little creepy, and always seems to have something "standing behind her" - something that no one can quite see. The cast of an upcoming play all begin to have similar dreams in which an old house, a forest by the sea and a crumbling well all make an appearance. When the star of the play dies unexpectedly, and Sadako is given her role, suspicion mounts. Odd occurrences plague the set, a news reporter with a secret agenda begins to investigate Sadako and Sadako herself falls in love with a handsome sound engineer named Toyama, the only one who believes that Sadako is innocent. But if she is, then what is causing the poltergeist activity in the theater? What is the source of the strange, eerie sound that everyone can hear? And whose voice said "You will die" on a recording made at the time of a young woman's death?

This is a strong entry in the Ringu series, more of a psychological drama than anything else. Sadako, like Carrie White, is a girl with no self-esteem, wandering through the film in dumpy clothes with her hair in her face. She is truly a good, sweet girl who is simply pushed too far at last. There are some creepy moments scattered through the film featuring grainy dream sequences, stricken corpses and a very creepy shot of Sadako's insane mother during a flashback. There's also a great climax featuring Sadako as we all remember her - hair in her face and clad in a long white dress - literally jumping into view and then creeping up on her two victims in a scene that was clearly shot backwards and then run forwards, giving her movements a hideous jerkiness. Yukie Nakama is very good as Sadako, giving us a tragic heroine who is good and pure and possesses the power to heal the sick. Your sympathy will lie with Sadako, even as her dark past is revealed. The good Sadako suffers unbearably and you will suffer with her, right up to the chilling, but inevitable, ending.

This is a must see for Ring fans. Very highly recommended.

The original "Ringu" (1998) is a truly creepy, modern-day Japanese horror classic; its sequel, "Ringu 2" (1999), is a sometimes confusing anticlimax of sorts, but still quite fun, nevertheless. And in "Ringu 0" (2000), the prequel to the original, we get to see the face of Sadako Yamamura, heretofore mostly hidden behind long, stringy hair, and, as played by actress Yukie Nakama, it is quite a lovely face indeed. We also get to discover some of Sadako's back story, and learn what she was up to 30 years before she began slaying via videotape. We see her as a woman of around 20, an aspiring actress in a dramatic troupe, and all seems to go well with her, until her otherworldly powers begin to manifest themselves, and her fellow thespians start to drop faster than victims of tsutsugamushi disease. Compared to Carrie White in the 1976 film "Carrie," Sadako is far nastier, and just like in that earlier film, all heck breaks loose following an instigated public freakout. "Ringu 0" is a fairly slow-moving film, and a surprise revelation concerning Sadako that comes halfway through is very hard to swallow. But since it effectively doubles the Sadako quotient, why quibble? Sadako is certainly a fascinating character, and the film's final 1/2 hour does repay the slow buildup. Coming full circle (closing the ring?), the film culminates with the terrible act of attempted murder that we partially witnessed in the original "Ringu," and fans of the series will perhaps understand me when I say that, um, all's well that ends well!

Not overwhelmingly bad yet nothing all too great about this one either.

Long, dull, mundane prequel offering precious few scares. Looks like an average TV movie. There's some atmosphere oozing from it but not that much overall, has a strong amateurish feel to it as well. A few scenes may make you jump. The rest is all cold bleak stares accompanied by a silent soundtrack. Ohhh, scary.

To avoid, except for the snobby critics who'll find any foreign film "interesting" or to those that "must" see it for bragging rights. It's basically 90 mns of people starring at one another with little else going on.

Artificially slow, dull pace doesn't make a film a masterpiece by any standards, except for those with poor taste. I'd recommended Suicide Circle or Cure, way better than this. View it if you really have nothing better to do. 5/10

When Ring conquered the far east in 1998, then began to spread to the west, audiences were shocked at the nature of new horror. No longer was blood, guts and gore the content used to scare viewers, but sheer unadulterated terror caused by a whole new approach of psychological tension and a surreal dreamlike fear. It spawned a decent sequel which didn't *quite* live up the original due to convolucence of the plot and slight contrivance. But for the 3rd movie in the series (I ignore the Korean 'Ring Virus') they went back to basics, and told a simple story. Ring 0 is a prequel. Yes, not everything is cleared up, but for sheer story telling and quality of drama Ring 0 is the best in the series. It doesn't quite contain the same level of fear as Ring, but that's on purpose to portray Sadako (Who could well be one of the most enduring 'villains' in movie history) as a vulnerable girl - to convey her upbringing and troubled existance. And on this level the movie works extremely well, and the viewer identifies with her. But it just wouldn't be Ring without a scare or 2, and the ending, while not *quite* as terrifying as Ring's ending (Due to the fact we are now getting familiar with Ring's 'tricks') is still extremely chilling and will scare you. Overall, excellent movie and thoroughly recommended.

This story happens thirty years before the first `Ring'. It tells, in a dramatic way, the story of Sadako Yamamura (Yukie Nakama) when she was a teenager, working on a theater stage as an actress and having a crush in Tôyama (Seiichi Tanabe). The problem is the very confused screenplay and the badly developed characters. I do not know whether the translation to Portuguese along the film is correct. I watched a VHS spoken in Japanese with subtitles in Portuguese, but when I watch a movie in English, I note that there are many mistakes or omissions in the translation to Portuguese. Therefore, I do not know how precise is the translation in the Brazilian VHS. I myself did not understand the story as a whole, but I agree it is scary. I do not dare to say that it is a bad movie, but unfortunately I felt lost in many parts of the plot. In the future, I intend to watch the three Japanese `Ring' in sequence, and maybe the story becomes clearer. The actress Yukie Nakama is an amazingly beautiful and delicate young woman. I was astonished with her beauty. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): ` Ring 0 – O Chamado – Birthday' (`Ring 0 – The Calling – Birthday')

Oddly enough I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the two originals. We take a more calmer approach here as we see a young Sadako trying to become an actress.yukie nakama plays her here and shes does a really good job. Sadako cant shake visions in her head though that stop her from sleeping at night, visions of her past and snippets of things that will later make up part of the video tape. She falls for toyama the casting scout and director shigamori who thinks there is something up with her.while etsuko tries to expose her past with this noise that was herd on one of the recordings. The film also explores more of the telekanesis side and in some ways this film is a lot more horrifying especially with what happens to sadako here, overall I enjoyed it a lot.

Ring and Ring 2 were fantastic horror films that I to this day love and terrify me. Ring 0..Ring 0 tells the story back in the 50's where Sadako is represented as two sides;a good side and a bad side. The good side is in a theater group and soon enough the staff start to die mysteriously and it all leads up to Sadako,the evil side is a little girl who is not really in it that much. Ring 0 sounded like it was going to be the best film in years I mean two Sadako's ehhhh WOW! sadly,i was wrong..Ring 0 was a very boring movie. I think that this should have stood out as a movie on its own like maybe a different film but same idea. I think the problem was the director,Hideo Nakata did not sadly return to make this film. The ending scene was kind off what kept it from being a pile of crap but ehh..ya. Ring 0 ruins the Ring franchise sadly what used to be the scariest horror franchise is nothing now..

Rasen tried its hardest to create an entertaining novel-based movie. Somebody learned their lesson...

Ring 2 tried its hardest to live up to Ring by explaining way too much. Somebody learned their lesson...

Ring 0 tried its hardest to create a human-driven drama, while adding in the horror the series is well known for. Somebody knew their lessons!

You will feel emotionally for Sadako. Her performance, played by Nakama Yukie, is absolutely beautiful. She is able to manipulate your mind into feeling sorry for her, and then watching her in fear, and then feeling sorry for her... it's just one crazy ride. Unfortunately, we all know what has to happen in the end... sounds like Carrie.

This movie, fortunately or unfortunately, is more drama then horror... sounds like Carrie. In fact, there is only a couple of scenes that will scare you. We learned that this character we have feared is just another tortured woman with an unfortunate life... sounds like Carrie. The acting in this movie is just great. The characters are too convincing.

Too bad some people dislike this movie for the same general movie. It's slow burning. What this means is that it takes just about forever for the extremely exciting climax to start kicking in. For some, they just die for the suspense and do not feel cheated. For others, they just get so sick because they are bored out of their mind. The latter could be you, so take caution.

Sadako has just joined an acting troupe to "restart" from he old life. Unfortunately, a woman who's husband died at the infamous psychic test with Shizuko Yamamura, and is hell-bent on tracking Sadako down. The problem is that the Sadako she finds is a young girl who is clearly a "freak". The other Sadako is blamed for the mysterious deaths at the troupe. What is going on? What's with two Sadako's?

You owe it to yourself to watch this film, put up with the subtitles, and enjoy it

By the time this movie came out, the Ring franchise had become a cottage industry, resulting in a number of books and movies. And this movie was to be the end-all-tell-all of the series. Unfortunately, it ends without telling us anything.

The movie starts 40 years before the first Ring. Sadako is a young adult working at a theatre company on a production called The Mask. When the lead actress mysteriously dies (no mystery to us; this is a Ring movie afterall), Sadako, the understudy, assumes the role. As more cast members die, Sadako falls squarely in the spotlight as the prime suspect. There's also a subplot about a reporter whose boyfriend was the man Sadako killed at her mother's ESP demonstration in Ring 1. Needless to say, she's not a big Sadako fan. And neither will you be, after watching this.

First let me state the ridiculous theory this movie came up with: there are two Sadakos: a shy and timid adult Sadako, who is good, and a silent, lurking prepubescent Sadako, who is evil. Somewhere along the line, Dr. Ikuma, who became Sadako's caretaker after her mother's suicide, managed to split one Sadako into two. The good side grew up, while the evil stayed the same, locked in Dr. Ikuma's attic. This kinda explains how Sadako can kill people and not be aware of it. It doesn't explain, however, why the Sadako of 40 years later is the evil one. But that's the least of the unsolved problems. Who is Sadako's real father? Where did the videotape come from? And why is Sadako so bitter (being stuck in well notwithstanding)? The only thing this movie has going for it is the great ending, where the two Sadakos merge and go on a murder spree (her confrontation with the reporter is particularly creepy). The final scene, where she dreams she's no longer in the well, may bring a tear to your eye. Other than that, there's no reason to watch this; you'll be just as confused about Sadako as you were before.

After the disappointment of a still decent "Ring 2", "Ring 0 : Birthday" is a return to form. Yukie Nakamo does a wonderful job of portraying the tragic final days of Sadako's attempt at a normal life. The sweet, innocent side of her was never suspected when I first glimpsed the malevolent presence of Sadako in the first installment. Yukie is very moving in her portrayal and evokes sympathy and empathy for the character. Similarily, Daisuke Ban gives a opens up the character of Dr Ikuma from the glimpses we've seen in previous installments. Here we see a tortured and resigned man who genuinely loves Sadako as a daughter, but can't escape from the knowledge of how dangerous she is and the steps he may have to take to prevent her harming others.

Despite the main love story and drama of Sadako's attempt at a normal life, there are still plenty of creepy moments and supernatural happenings. The scenes with the school teacher relating her experiences of teaching a young Sadako are genuinely intriguing and eerie. Indeed the story of the kids swimming in the sea and Sadako's prediction of their fate, is truly gripping, despite nothing actually being shown. The excitng scenes in the woods and cabin show how deadly Sadako can be when her evil side has control. The weird appearance and way of walking from the first "Ring" is seen again here and there's some great bonesnapping moments when Sadako hunts down her final prey. These scenes and the conclusion give "Ring 0 : Birthday" the standout sequences that "Ring 2" never quite managed to sustain from the original film.

Some of the plot points do bear a resemblance to "Carrie" but the film handles them in a different way. The story, although slow paced is always enthralling (a hallmark of the "Ring" series to date) and it seems poor Sadako never really had a chance from what awaited her. Aligned against her are: an inability to control the dark powers of her alter ego, a creepy director who learns of her secret and wishes to use her, a reporter with a grudge and a suspicious and unfriendly acting troupe who never seem to have made any real attempt at welcoming the shy, withdrawn girl into their fold. Mob paranoia and fear contribute to Sadako's fate and make her the malevolent presence she is today. As the film reaches it's conclusion, you can't help but wish that things could end differently for the unfortunate lovers but anyone who's seen the previous installments, knows that there's only one place this prequel can end. The last few minutes of the film are heartbreaking and the film's end credit song beautifully encapsulates the finality of Sadako's backstory.

Don't expect too many absolute answers here though. "Ring 0 : Birthday" maintains the mystery and ambiguity of the first two films and once again, imagination is a required element from the viewer. If you enjoyed the previous films and want to see more of Sadako, this film will give you quite a thrill ride. Whether it's poignant doomed love story, another part of the Ring puzzle or an eerie and haunting Japanese ghost story, "Ring 0 : Birthday" is a winner on every level.

Ringu 0 (2000) is a Japanese 🇯🇵 prequel to the iconic Ringu and is available on Tubi. The storyline follows a quiet, reserved young woman who joins her college drama club. Her teacher believes she has a unique talent, while her family suspects she possesses strange, supernatural powers. When students begin dying mysteriously, an investigator is called in-and the young woman quickly becomes the focus of his attention.

Directed by Norio Tsuruta (King's Game), the film stars Yukie Nakama (Samurai Rebellion), Seiichi Tanabe (Bleach), Kumiko Aso (Pulse), Kôji Yano (The Eagles), and Senzaburô Makimura (Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla).

This might be the strongest follow-up to Ringu. The storyline is intelligent and well-executed, making you genuinely care about the main character and her fate. The tragic circumstances feel authentic, and the death scenes, especially with the chilling hollowed faces, are handled effectively. The character development is so compelling that even as you anticipate what's coming, you find yourself hoping for a different outcome, only to watch events unfold with a sense of dread.

In conclusion, Ringu 0 is a solid and worthwhile addition to the Ringu series. I'd rate it 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend it to fans of the original.

Wow, what a patient person I am. I waited, I waited, I waited, but nothing happened. It was a complete disappointment. I liked the first movie. The other movies weren't bad either, but this one was very, very bad. I was bored, but I persevered until the end. I need to take a break from this series...
